Restaurant staff management software built for how restaurants actually operate — not adapted from a generic HR tool.
Building schedules in Excel or Google Sheets means constant back-and-forth, version confusion, and staff who never see updates in time.
Important announcements get buried in group chats. Shift changes get missed. New hires don't know where to look.
Paper timesheets and punch clocks lead to payroll errors, buddy punching, and hours of manual reconciliation every week.
Certifications in email, training docs in Dropbox, onboarding checklists on paper. Nothing is where you need it when you need it.
Build your weekly schedule in minutes, not hours. Drag-and-drop shifts, handle swap requests, and push updates directly to your team's phones — no texts required.
Automated time tracking with GPS verification means you always know who's actually on the clock — and your payroll numbers are accurate without manual reconciliation.
Replace the group text chaos with a structured communication system. Announcements, shift notes, and operational updates all live in one place — and your whole team actually sees them.
Every feature below is available in RestaurantCS. Free tier included — paid tiers unlock as your operation grows.
